The hotel’s fresh but grand design is inspired by traditional Andalucian architecture and gives every area a big, bright and luxuriously spacious feel that is so rare in Europe. Outside, design features include white walls, shady arcades and courtyards. Finca Cortesin, designed by the architects Roger Torras and Ignacio Sierra, boasts some of the best design talent in Europe including the landscape architect Gerald Huggan, revered interior designer Duarte Pinto Coelho who has used beautiful continental antiques in the guest areas and sisters Ana and Christina Calderón who are responsible for the understated but exceptional interior design of the rooms. Beautiful features include antique terracotta floors and old wooden doors which have been salvaged from European castles and restored.
